Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

[bigdamnprincipal]

Despite the not-so-great weather earlier in the week, the weather today looked nice and... well, decent for the end of December, and while the rest of town might still have signs of last week's snow, there were no traces left outside the school. (It just meant one less uncomfortable question for the big siblings to deal with, you're welcome.)

The buffet table was ready, set as far as possible from the glittered-out blue and gold tables and chairs. The winter bonfire was crackling for warmth and food-toasting opportunities. The lists of siblings and roommates had been double-checked. It looked like everything was ready for a picnic!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Field trips," Hannibal answered. "It was meant to be another class in artistic inspiration, but apparently the moose was having none of that, so it's simply field trips. And you?"

"I would sign up for that class in a second," Summer nodded her approval, and then the excitement clearly took over again. "And I'm doing a class on Culture Shock with Kanan! We were both thinking about classes that focused on preparing students for all sorts of weird stuff that might be thrown at them out here at Fandom or in the multiverse as a whole, so it just made sense to sort of join forces and do it together. He's got the perspective of his age and experience," because he was so old, Dr. L., so old, "and I've got the unique perspective of still being a teenager who's also experienced an Earth that's arguably even weirder than this place. So I think it'll be really helpful and useful, but also kind of fun, you know?"

"Useful and interesting," Hannibal agreed. "I wish you well with it."

You and your old, old partner.

SO OLD.

"Thank you," said Summer, straightening importantly and nodding her head. "I just hope I'm able to stick with it better than my community center class, but I think I will. If anything, Kanan'll keep me to task, and the subject matter is a little more..."

Hmmmm, how to describe exactly what as drag it was trying to force technology on people who were mostly just baffled by it and whose eyes went glossy at the mere mention of an emoji?

"....accessible."

Plus, you know, the whole point BDG had made about the fact that the audience was a bit more captive, as well.

"Accessibility is important," Hannibal agreed.

A captive audience didn't hurt.

"How are you enjoying the island, now you're no longer in school?" he asked. "And how is are the gelatin creations coming?"

"It's a bit weird," Summer said after a moment, with a faint, almost-wry smile, "if I'm honest. I think I should stayed away for a little bit longer, really, but, ugh, no. I couldn't stand being back home." She shrugged. "It is what it is, I guess. And I probably won't be here much longer, either, really, because the gelatin creations are coming along great; I'm really narrowing in on a business plan, so, depending on how this class goes, after this, it might be time." She hitched a thumb upwards toward the sky, making a rocket sound. "Up in space I go..."

By herself.

In a different galaxy.

Probably to a place where BDG couldn't even visit because it made the most economic, least-suspicious sense.

Yaaaay?

"Should you need any help, I would be happy to assist," Hannibal said. "As a cook, a business owner, or a friendly shoulder."
